C# combobox usage

Question

I want to change the text of a label based on the selection of a combobox:

Example:-

Combobox item: Fiction -----> Label text: Tale of two cities

Combobox item: Medicine -----> Label text: Snell's Anatomy

Combobox item: Histology -----> Label text: Basic Histology 5th Edition

Please help

If comboBox1 and label1 are your ComboBox and Label controls respectively, then try placing this code in the ComboBox's SelectedIndexChanged eventhandler: private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged( object sender, EventArgs e) { switch (comboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString()) { case "Fiction" : label1.Text = "Tale of two cities" ; break ; case "Medicine" : label1.Text = "Snell's Anatomy" ; break ; case "Histology" : label1.Text = "Basic Histology 5th Edition" ; break ; default : label1.Text = "" ; //say break ; } }

that was cool, didn't think of rolling out that way for output. How about instead of a label box, rolling into another combo box. ex. "Selected item in combobox1 generates list for combobox2" **nm, figured out how to add items to combo box, but how do you remove items when you change your selection in the combobox?
